Kurt Grüng

Does not meet WP:NARTIST as far as I can tell. Secondary source coverage is lacking. agt x 04:49, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as failing WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. There is no significant coverage, public exhibitions or being part of public collection. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 11:46, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep- Kurt Grüng Note: Public exhibitions - "D E L I Q U I U M" DARK MOVEMENTS EXHIBITION London (19-21.02.2015)[6] a set of early industrial style photos, '1st NSK Folk Art Biennale' exhibition at Leipzig, Germany (3.5.2014)[7] Neue Slowenische Kunst inspired photograph, on display at the "Time for a New State?" NSK seminar and Folk Art exhibition at Manchester Metropolitan University. (14.11.2012)[8] Solo Exhibition, at MILKandLEAD Art Gallery, London (07.03.2013)[9] Selected works at joint exhibition, at SUMMER DARKNESS Festival, Utrecht (26.07.2013) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.18.7.83 (talk) 15:24, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Problem with those exhibitions is that the venues are not notable. Public exhibition must be held in museum, notable gallery or be a part of known art fair or event. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 10:23, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * How can you say those exhibitions are not notable. Manchester Metropolitan University is not notable? NSK Leipzig Joint exhibition was held at Spinnerei Gallery in Germany (which is a very notable gallery!!).
 * Keep- The article contains room for improvement but that does not mean that it should be deleted. Kurt has been cited by independent media and they can be used as secondary sources. The Independent recently featured him as "contemporary artist". Kurt certainly passes WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. A mention is also present here. The reviewer should keep the article and help the Wikipedians to build it. Faizan Kumar (talk) 19:09, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

 * The article in the Independent is not significant coverage. It is a single, passing, offhand mention of the artist that does not confer notability. agt x  22:45, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete instead as I see nothing else apart from expected exhibitions and news articles, there are no collections such as museums or other significant substantial events, therefore it's not currently convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  23:57, 30 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep- Kurt Grüng has contributed to multiple NSK folk art joint exhibitions around Europe Kurt Grüng certainly passes WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST He is one of the emerging Artists at NSK. nskstate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wtoalabi (talk • contribs) 17:49, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Note to closing admin Something strange is going on with this AFD. We've had a solid handful of SPAs, a user who hasn't edited in five months returning just to vote here, and an IP user who tried to close the AFD. agt x  23:36, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Multiple joint exhibits in vatious places explicitly does not meet WP:CREATIVE. What is need is work in major museums.  DGG ( talk ) 00:40, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
